On-Vehicle Inspection [01/2019 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT CANISTER (FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY) (for Fuel Tank Cap Method)
- Inspect the evaporative emission control system.
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 2
- Check for clogs in the air filter (when not using the Techstream).
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
- Start the engine.
- Warm up the engine.
- Allow the engine to idle for 15 minutes.
- Open the fuel tank cap assembly to discharge the pressure in the fuel tank assembly.
- Close the fuel tank cap assembly and allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.
- Open the fuel tank cap assembly again and check for inhalation sounds.
OK
No whooshing sounds (inhalation sound) are heard.
HINT:
If there is a smell of gasoline and a whooshing sound (exhalation sound) is heard, positive pressure in the fuel tank assembly is being discharged. This is not a malfunction.
- Check for clogs in the air filter (when using the Techstream).
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
- Start the engine.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the EVAP Purge VSV.
Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
Tester Display Activate the EVAP Purge VSV - Open the fuel tank cap assembly to discharge the pressure in the fuel tank assembly.
- Perform the Active Test "Activate the EVAP Purge VSV" while the engine is idling.
- Close the fuel tank cap assembly and allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.
- Open the fuel tank cap assembly and check for inhalation sounds.
OK
No whooshing sounds (inhalation sound) are heard.
HINT:
If there is a smell of gasoline and a whooshing sound (exhalation sound) is heard, positive pressure in the fuel tank assembly is being discharged. This is not a malfunction.
- Inspect the evaporative emission control system.
- INSPECT CANISTER (FUEL SUCTION PLATE SUB-ASSEMBLY) (for Vacuum Measurement Method)
- Visually check the canister (fuel suction plate sub-assembly) for airtightness.
- Visually check the canister (fuel suction plate sub-assembly) for cracks or damage, and check that there is no gasoline smell.
- Inspect the airflow of the canister (fuel suction plate sub-assembly).NOTE:
When inspecting with parts installed on the vehicle, be sure to remove the fuel tank cap assembly.
- Apply compressed air to the port (A) and check that the air flows out from the port (B).
*a Port (A) *b Port (B) *c Air OK
Air flows out from the port (B).
- Close the port (A) and apply compressed air to the port (B).
*a Port (A) *b Port (B) *c Air OK
Air does not flow at first. By gradually increasing the pressure, air flows when the pressure in the port reaches a certain level.
- Using a vacuum pump, apply vacuum to the port (B) with the port (A) closed.
*a Port (A) *b Port (B) *c Vacuum Pump OK
The vacuum is maintained at first. By gradually increasing the vacuum, air flows and the vacuum decreases after the vacuum reaches a certain level.
- Apply compressed air to the port (A) and check that the air flows out from the port (B).
- Check for clogs in the air filter (when not using the Techstream).
*1 Fuel Hose *a 3-way Connector *b Hose *c Vacuum Pump - Connect the fuel hose to the canister (fuel suction plate sub-assembly) via the 3-way connector, hose and vacuum pump as shown in the illustration.
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
- Start the engine.
- Warm up the engine.
- Allow the engine to idle for 15 minutes.
- Check the needle of the vacuum pump.
OK
The needle of the vacuum pump does not rise from its initial position.
HINT:
The needle may shake due to engine vibration, etc., but if it immediately returns to its initial position, there is no problem.
- Check for clogs in the air filter (when using the Techstream).
